Bittersweet end to my weekend..

  • Hey there Momma. I had a fantastic weekend.. well almost completely fantastic. I have some bad news to report first. My dad's brother, Uncle Jim S passed away sometime on Saturday night. We found out Sunday evening. So Mom if you see him up there, be nice okay? (inside joke, Cathy gets it) My dad is pretty quiet as far as I can tell, probably in shock. Poor guy lost his wife and now his brother. I'm pretty shocked, and I'm sad. Dad and his brother didn't talk too often and we only saw him every few years or so although he lived like 15 min away, but that's alright. He will be missed. RIP Jim Sovulewski.
  • On a more fun and positive note, I did have a pretty fun weekend. Well aside from finding out about my uncle's passing. Friday evening I went to dinner at Applebees with Amy since we hadn't hung out in forever, then drove down Redwood Road blasting the theme from Beverly Hills Cop. After dropping Amy off, I stopped by Alisha's house and we partied for a few hours. It was pretty fun, and I think I may like jaeger bombs. Not sure yet though.
  • Saturday I did the KDFC thang as usual. Then I came home and actually got to chill out during the afternoon. Did a little bit of cleaning and actually watched TV for 3-4 hours. I love lounging on the couch and watching Airplane! with some diet wild cherry pepsi. A little after 7pm Brad and Victoria picked me up, and we went for dinner/drinks at the New Zealander in Alameda. I had an awesome cheeseburger with steamed veggies and salad. I drank two diet cokes and had Kahlua/coffee with my dessert. Oh yeah I had bread pudding. Oh and we had cheese/crackers for our appetizer. Very nice quaint atmosphere, great service. We sat there and ate/talked for like 2-3 hours, man it was fun.
  • Sunday morning I went to church, and it was great being back. Pastor Gary's pastor friend from Vegas was there. He reminds me of Chris Farley's brother. He's a great speaker though, and a good dancer. After church I picked up Davina, we swung by my house to grab some stuff, and headed off to Half Moon Bay to hit the beach with Amy and Cathy. The actual beach we went to is called Bean Hollow. Hahaha. I love the beach. We played in the water, wrote our names in the sand, took wacky pictures and such. Afterwards we followed Cathy and Amy to Round Table there in Half Moon Bay and had some late lunch/early dinner. Veggie pizza and cheesy breadsticks rock.
  • The ride to Half Moon Bay and back is so beautiful, seriously. I think sometimes we don't fully appreciate God's beauty and take things like that for granted. I was mentioning that to Davina on the way over there and that's so ironic since I had no fathom about my uncle's passing. We always take people for granted too. It's horrible. Everyone does it, though. I think that's why I almost never say no when friends want to hang, even if I'm exhausted. You never know if today's your last day or what. Take that last road trip. Go for ice cream or dinner. Rock out at that concert. Or just have a great conversation. Don't wait until later. Do it now. Live your life while it's still your life.
  • Okay here are a few videos from my weekend. Enjoy. I like the "Sexyback" part on the second video the best. :-)
